South Carolina Aiken that
provides Seniors in Aiken, SC and the entire Central Savannah River Area with a wide range of learning
opportunities tailored to their needs and interests.

Each semester the Academy offers short courses and events covering a broad span of interests, ranging from art, music, literature, and science to hobbies, cooking, current events, religion, and both local and broader ranging history.
